* Gershom Mendes Seixas death
* 1st native-born American rabbi
This 4 page newspaper under "Obituary Notice" is a short biography of the late Gershom Mendes Seixas who had recently died.
Seixas was the 1st Jewish rabbi born within in the United States - very significant. A great Judaica item for those looking for collectibles with a Hebrew theme.
Other news of the day includes: "Piracy" "Separation Of Maine" and more with many advertisements.
Some dirtiness and little margin wear. Also some front page rubbing, otherwise in good condition.
